Lure brands to look for ?

Perhaps one of our reputable Brisbane collectors could offer up a bit of time and get together with you to let you know what you have ??????
Have to be easier tban posting up a million pics when you're flying blind .

I'd be happy to help where I can, I'd enjoy the opportunity to look at his collection. My knowledge is not as good as some but I could help with 90% of it.

I agree that if someone local was able to offer assistance in sorting it would save you guys a lot of time.
In general, older timber lures from Australian makers will get more attention here.  Some are worth more than others - but in general if it has some age to it and is timber it would be worth selling individually or in small (matched) groups of 2-3.
In my opinion the collectible timber lures you would be better off auctioning on here.  It's relatively easy and it's free to do.
Then with the rest, break them down by type (ie. a tackle tray filled with barra lures that easy fits in a prepaid post satchel) and while you could sell some of that here I think ebay is the best place to move large amounts (like I assume you must be wading through). Although obviously there are fees involved there.
Alternatively you could separate out the valuable ones and lump the rest in a massive lot to get it over with.  Though you probably wouldn't get as much return.
Also depending on what type of time frame you need to deal with - you could hold off for a few months and bring it to the Lure Expo in Ipswich.  You would get a lot of opinions, and a lot of interest.
